Sunday Services

Sometimes we have family services which highlight our
children and which last about one hour.

At Christmas and Easter, we have services that appeal to
children, and services that are traditional.

In the
Anglican Church, Holy Communion is also called the Last Supper,
the Holy Eucharist, and in some churches, the Mass.

We welcome all who
are baptized in any Christian tradition to
receive the Communion at St. George’s.

Some people prefer
not to drink from the common cup of consecrated
wine at communion. If so, when the cup is
offered to you, simply acknowledge the cup by
touching the base of the chalice. For health
reasons please do not dip your piece of bread in
the cup.

What to Expect

At 8:00 am, we have a
quiet service of Holy Communion. We use the
traditional service which begins on page 67 of
the maroon coloured Book of Common Prayer. There
is no music or singing, but there is always a
short sermon. The service lasts under an hour.
If you prefer a quiet, reflective service, then
you will enjoy the 8:00 am service.

At 10:00 am, we
have our Choral Communion, which is the main
service each week for St. George’s. At this
service we use the Pipe Organ and there is a
robed choir. Traditional hymns will be sung and
the choir will sing an anthem. Normally, the
service we use is the Holy Eucharist service
found on page 185 of the green Book of
Alternative Services. This service is written in
Modern English, but is based in part upon
ancient Christian texts.

On the first Sunday of
the month, we use the traditional Holy Communion
service, which is found on page 230 of the Book
of Alternative Services. There is always a full
sermon, which seeks to teach the Scriptures and
apply them to our lives. After the service, we
invite everyone to come downstairs to the parish
hall for coffee and tea.

Sunday School
operates at the 10:00 am service. Normally the
children gather at the front of the church
during the first hymn for a short prayer and
then go downstairs for their classes. The
children do come back into Church at the
Communion.

Music

Music has always played an important role in church services.
St. George's is no exception. Often times traditional, sometimes
modern, music accompanies and enriches our celebrations, keeps
us in a meditative mood, and helps us pray and praise God.

Our 10:00 am service is a choral service. This means that we
sing hymns and other parts of the service, accompanied by a
choir and our organ.

At St. George’s we are very proud of our Casavant Organ which we
have had restored. Our organist and choir director is
Jean-Francois Gauthier. Our choir meets every Thursday to
practice. New singers are always welcome.
